I'm really not concerned with the QPF amounts, more so with the placement of how far North and West the snow makes it. 

 

Even so, it's not much different than the NAM

Wow! even with those panels you are showing qpf didn't even increase overhead. Its gonna be a sad day up here tomorrow when we watch those radar echoes get shredded away by that dry air.

If you don't mind me asking - did it pull back just in terms of intensity, for did the precip. shield sink South - if the latter I have a bad feeling as EUR usually follows. Hopefully a blip.

It sank south slightly in the mid ranges, say 7.5mm to 30mm, but overall areal coverage of the precipitation is nearly identical.

I am currently going 8"-14" for the city.  Using a blend of the GFS, NAM, RGEM, ECMWF, last nights UKMET and GEM.  I do think things can change, waiting to see where the heavy bands set up.  It soon will be a now casting storm.

 

Nice call, you may have to bump that up a bit later. I am going with 12"-18" for my area (northeastern portion of Middlesex County NJ). If we get into into the heavier banding I could see us going over 20"

8-14 looks good...14" would be the third largest January storm on record...1935 had 18" in some parts of the city...

That's my "guesstimate" from a couple of pages ago - seems reasonable.  Even if it's 6" but blizzard conditions, it'll keep people off the roads so the Sanitation Dept. can do its job and if it's more than 14" it won't matter too much, since 14" is still a major (and close to historic) storm.  Saw the Fox5 story on your role as the forecaster for the NYC Sanitation Dept. last night - great stuff!!
